Menu Monday

It seems like ages since I posted my Menu Monday...that's what having a little dude friend around can do.

So I'm back hard on the Low Carb eating this week. Thankfully after eating like there was "NO TOMORROW" over the past 2 weekends (I seem to deem weekends for crazy off the chart eating) I haven't gained any weight back.

So far I'm down 13 lbs...that's almost 1 stone for you European peeps. (wink)

This week I looked up some Low Carb stuff and this is what is on the menu for the week.

The kids can add chips, buns, fries, or tortillas to carb theirs out. I'm not forcing anyone to give up the good stuff...

Tonight is Cheeseburger Casserole...haven't tried it....so I can't comment on taste...

CHEESEBURGER CASSEROLE
2 pounds ground beef
5 strips bacon, chopped
16 ounces frozen cauliflower
Butter
Salt and pepper, to taste
Pinch garlic powder
1 egg
8 ounce cheddar cheese, shredded

Brown the hamburger and bacon together; drain the fat. Add the salt, pepper, garlic powder, egg and 3/4 of the cheese. Meanwhile, cook the cauliflower until very tender. Mash and season with salt and pepper and a little butter. Put the cauliflower in a greased 2-quart casserole dish. Spread the meat mixture over the cauliflower and top with the remaining cheese. Bake, uncovered, at 350º for 35 minutes, until hot and bubbly.

Makes 6 servings
Can be frozen

There was a side note from the person who posted the recipe...I think I'll take her advice

**This tasted pretty good, but I think it might be better to put the meat on the bottom and top with the cauliflower and cheese. I wasn't too crazy about it at first, but I grew to like it the more I ate it.

What's on your menu this week? Any Low carb recipes you love? Pass them on.

And as for yesterday's post...You're right! I CAN CAN!!
